10 interesting facts about bats

1. Bats are the only mammals in the world that can fly for a sustained period of time.
2. Bats are good for the ecosystems, as some species distribute seeds or pollinate flowers around the world.
3. Without bats, we wouldn’t have nuts, figs, and cacao. Over 300 species of fruit depend on bats for pollination.
4. Bats can fly at speeds of 60mph – sometimes even more. The Mexican free-tailed bat can reach up to 100mph.
5. There are 1,100 species of bats worldwide, with 40 species in the U.S. alone.

6. Bats use echolocation to find food, meaning they produce inaudible high-pitched sounds to listen to the echo that returns back to them.
7. Bats range in size. The Kitti’s hog-nosed bat weighs less than a penny (it’s the world’s smallest mammal), and the Flying fox bat has a wingspan of up to 6ft.
8. Bats have very few natural predators, mostly just owls, hawks, and snakes.
9. Most wild bats live less than 20 years, but the longest living bat is 41 years old.
10. Most female bats only have one baby bat, called pups, per year. Because of this, bats are really vulnerable to extinction.
